We have an appointment for L to be induced starting on Sunday night. So keep an eye on flickr; in theory by monday night you'll learn which cartoon character we've named the baby after.

The maiden flight of the SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket ended in tears yesterday. Anyone who paid attention to such things knew that their chances of success were fairly low. The founder of SpaceX made his money selling PayPal to eBay, and by the time he's done he'll might have spent it all with […]

Driving down the parkway on the way home last night, in heavy traffic, two cars pulled over, and 4 construction workers got out and started peeing into the trees. What. The. Hell. Nobody wants to see that.
I should have taken a picture.
To get that out of your head, go watch the trailer […]

There's something odd about the way this page describes the parents of Frances Bean Cobain… (who really does look a lot like both parents these days. Interesting choice of t-shirt in that picture.)

What does “mad as a hatter” mean, anyway?
I guess I could try to look it up, but I'm not really all that interested. I'll just assume there was some sort of parasites in old hats that got into hatters' brains and drove them mad, much like what happened to Scotty in Wrath of Khan.

Are babies organic?
Speaking of which, this may be the best store-bought salad dressing I've ever had. The stores here only carry two different varieties of this brand, and they're both great.

Me and You and Everyone We Know: Take Garden State, add twice as many characters, turn the main character (and writer/director) into a woman, take away the recognizable actors and the Shins music, add a hint of pedophilia, and this is what you get. I liked it a lot. 4 stars.
Broken Flowers: Take […]

“Is there anything you want to tell me? Anything that happened in Taiwan?”
Oh my god, she knows.
“I don't think so… Like what?”
“Because, if there is… you can tell me. Just get it off your chest.”
Oh hell. I'm so screwed.
“Well… yes.”
“What is it?”
“I don't know how to tell you this.”
“…”

Like a bullet hole in Central Park

The other day I got out of the shower, and I was tweezing my eyebrows, when I looked down and saw a perfectly round circle, like a rash, right in the middle of my chest. It's about the size of a quarter. It's wierd. It doesn't itch at all. I considered […]
